England player ratings as 10/10 Jude Bellingham fires Three Lions into quarter-finals
England are into the quarter-finals of the World Cup after one of the most dramatic nights in their history. The Three Lions overcame Mexico 3-2 in the cauldron of the Azteca thanks to two goals from Jude Bellingham and a Harry Kane penalty. But England were forced to play almost the entire second half with 10 men after Jarell Quansah so red for a horror tackle. Bellingham's first-half brace put England 2-0 up before Julian Quinones pulled one back for Mexico. Kane scored from the spot after Quansah's red card to restore the two-goal lead. Raul Jimenez then also scored from 12 yards and England clung on for more than half an hour to book a place in the last eight against Norway. Here's how the players rated in Mexico City... Jordan Pickford 9 Brilliant first half saves from Raul Jimenez but could do nothing about the Mexico striker’s penalty. Jarell Quansah 5 Sent off after a brutal challenge on Jesus Gallardo. Had been enjoying such a good game. Ezri Konsa 7 Another shaky game in central defence and was then switched to right back to hold fort. Marc Guehi 8 So calm under pressure - and there was one hell of a lot of pressure. Nico O’Reilly 7 Hit the post wth a brilliant low shot. Went off injured after a very mixed bag of a game. Declan Rice 8 Booked after 59 seconds and is clearly nowhere near full fitness - but what a shift. Hero. Elliot Anderson 8 Worked so hard and hard to fathom why he was the one substituted. Felt the wrong choice. Bukayo Saka 7 After his assist in the first half, was the sacrificial lamb after Quansah red card. Jude Bellingham 10 His two goals made him head and shoulders England’s best player - yet again. Anthony Gordon 9 By far and away the best performance by any England winger in all of their games. Harry Kane 9 England’s hero and villain this time. Slammed home a penalty, provided an assist but conceded clumsy penalty to let Mexico back in the contest. Substitutes Stones, for Saka, 57 mins, 8 Spence, for O’Reilly, 75 mins Burn, for Anderson, 75 mins Rogers for Kane, 90 mins Mexico (4-3-3): Rangel 7 Gallardo 7, Vasquez 7, Montes 6 (Alvarez, 46, 7), Sanchez 7 (Fodaglo, 79,), Romo 7 (Gutierrez, 60, 7), Lira 7, Mora 7 (Gimenez, 60, 6), Quinones 7 (Martinez, 82), Jimenez 7, Alvarado 6.
